Aluminium Baking Tray Supplier
Vikas Kitchenware is an India-based Aluminium Baking Tray Supplier, producing commercial-quality baking trays of 3003 grade, free from lead, with daily production of more than 1,500 trays per day.
Our baking trays come as bakery sheet pans and industrial baking trays that offer uniform thermal conductivity, no warping at any point due to high-temperature cycles and are designed to perfectly fit in commercial standard-size oven racks. Irrespective of whether you are an exporter or a wholesaler of bakery equipment, we guarantee that our aluminium trays will last for many years of daily commercial baking.
Aluminium Baking Sheet Dimensions (Full Size, Half Size, Quarter Size)
Our commercial bakeries and hospitality kitchens use a few common sizes of tray footprints such that trays, racks, and proofing carts become interchangeable from various brands. We make according to these industry-standard sizes of aluminium baking trays but can provide custom sizes as well.
| Tray Size | Dimensions (inches) | Dimensions (mm approx.) | Typical Oven Rack Fit | Common Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Full Size Sheet Pan | 18 x 26 in | 457 x 660 mm | Full-size commercial deck & convection ovens | High-volume bakery production, roasting |
| Two-Thirds Size | 15.9 x 21.6 in | 405 x 550 mm | Compact commercial convection ovens | Cafes, mid-size hotel kitchens |
| Half Size Sheet Pan | 18 x 13 in | 457 x 330 mm | Half-size racks, countertop convection ovens | Hotels, restaurants, catering |
| Quarter Size Sheet Pan | 13 x 9.5 in | 330 x 241 mm | Small convection ovens, display cases | Cafes, patisseries, sampling trays |
| Custom / OEM Size | As specified | As specified | Client-specified rack or oven model | Private-label & export orders |
Standard gauge range: 16–18 gauge (1.2 mm – 1.6 mm), with 12–14 gauge heavy-duty options for high-frequency industrial bakery use.
Buyers sourcing for a specific oven brand or proofing rack should confirm internal rack rail spacing before ordering — we can produce to exact client-supplied tolerances for large wholesale bakery equipment orders.
Wire Rim vs. Wire-Free Bead Construction
Tray edge construction affects both structural rigidity and handling safety, and it’s one of the most overlooked specs in bulk bakery tray sourcing.
| Construction Type | Description | Advantages | Best Suited For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wire Rim Reinforcement | A steel or aluminium wire is rolled into the tray edge for added rigidity | Higher resistance to bending/warping, longer flat-life under heavy loads | High-volume industrial bakeries, stacking-heavy environments |
| Wire-Free Bead (Rolled Edge) | Edge is rolled back on itself without an internal wire | Smoother edge profile, lighter weight, lower unit cost | Hotels, cafes, moderate-volume commercial kitchens |
Bakery rim wire reinforcement is commonly used in cases where bakery trays are subjected to repetitive daily baking, use of stack ovens or conveyor systems that cause bending of the edge, thus causing uneven baking and problems with fitting on racks. Wire-free bead design is the best economical option for hospitality kitchen applications.
Commercial Oven Compatibility and Heat Distribution of Baking Pans
As aluminium is a good heat conductor, it is used for baking trays to facilitate even heat distribution across the tray.
Key performance factors of our Aluminium Baking Tray
- Thermal Conductivity: Thermal conductivity of aluminium is much better than that of stainless steel, ensuring better results from the baking process and quick preheat-to-bake transition, which is extremely important for high-volume bakery lines.
- Warping Resistance: Design of gauges and rims is matched to the type of oven (deck, convection or rotary rack) and ensures minimal risk of warping while thermal cycling at temperatures from 200°C to 260°C.
- Fit into Commercial Oven Racks: Trays are designed with a certain width to ensure easy sliding and stacking in standard full-size, half-size and rotary rack ovens.
- Anodised Baking Sheets: In case bakeries need trays with better release properties and wear resistance, anodised baking sheets can be offered, which have a surface that has been oxidised to ensure corrosion resistance and enhanced release.
- Proper Air Circulation: Depth of trays and their perforation (where appropriate) allow air circulation in convection and rotary ovens.
